NCAA DIII Men’s Golf Championship Information
The 2026 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Championship begins on May 12 and will run through May 15 at the Mission Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. The tournament will feature 43 teams of five players and 10 individuals.
The team and individual champions will be determined after 72 holes of play or the conclusion of the last fully completed round. First- and second-round competition will be played simultaneously on El Campeón and Las Colinas courses with the final two rounds played on El Campeón. After 36 holes of competition, the field will be cut to the top 18 teams and the top six individuals not on one of those teams. Ties for the cut will be broken by a sudden-death playoff or, if necessary, by the non-sudden-death tiebreaking procedures.
El Campeón Course: El Campeón, an 18-hole championship course, emerged from the visionary genius of Chicago-based course architect George O’Neil in 1917. This scenic masterpiece witnessed its evolution in 1926, courtesy of Charles E. Clarke, hailing from the legendary golfing grounds of Troon, Scotland. El Campeón is a par 72 course and will play at 6,778 yards.
Las Colinas: Crafted by the skilled hands of Gary Koch in 1992, Las Colinas, which translates to ‘the hills’ in Spanish, is an 18-hole championship course that presents a distinctive contrast to El Campeón. It embodies the spirit of an inland links design, gracing golf enthusiasts with its expansive, open fairways and generously sized, undulating greens. Ranked among the top powerhouses on GolfAdvisor in April 2017, Las Colinas is a testament to its exceptional golfing prowess. The course is a par 71 that will play at 6,820 yards.
